About resource limits

Our PHP configuration has default limits that must not be exceeded, and software exceeding these limits may be forcably terminated and deactivated.

CGI software shall adhere to the same limits.

Even if software does not exceed the specific limits, it may still use too much resources, overloading the webserver. Your webpages will no longer work, and neither will any other webpages on the same webserver. In such case, we will temporarily deactivate the webhotel causing the problems.

Other restrictions

The webservers are behind a firewall, which prevents software not using HTTP.

Some types of software is not permitted, no matter what the cause is, regardless of whether it is run on a webserver or login.domeneshop.no. The following list contains examples, and is not exhaustive:

Backdoors

Bittorrent clients or servers, or other similar distribution services

Chat or IRC robots/proxies

Crypto-mining etc.

DoS/DDoS tools

File management scripts in PHP or CGI (regardless of language)

Firewall circumvention, or attempts to circumvent

Insecure software (known security vulnerabilities)

Obfuscated/encrypted software that cannot be automatically verified as secure/original

Performance tests for max capacity of our servers/computers/lines

Port scanners

Proxies (e.g. for anonymization)

Remote shell via web

Root kits

Scam software (e.g. phishing)

Spam software

Spy software

Video transcoders

Viruses, trojans, etc.
